If power button was faulty, it would not turn on instantly and would not force shutdown as normally it does.
I tried chatgpt (i know its not good) and i got to a brick wall because i dont know how to continue from here.

here is the transcript. Things you tried that did NOT solve the problem

Changed all relevant BIOS / ACPI settings
Disabled S0ix / Modern Standby, kept S3 enabled
Flashed EC firmware from both models
Performed full EC reset / power drain
Added 100 nF (0603) capacitor across power button
Matched PERKEY_STRAP resistor to original board
Verified button

I have access to SYSPREP screen in the bios.
I am assuming i need ACPI timing changed but how ?

After it heated to working temperature, acidity goes away.
I tested some flux by just heating the used residue and see if it corrodes the copper.
It does not....

Another good flux is Organic Soldering Flux OMEGA 559

he is struggling to get his batches consistent and still working on improving existing formula to make it more active.
The foundation of the flux will not go dark, will not smoke much and smells nice too.
Give it a try.
USA made, USA sold.

Thank you

Both VS-UHF-TF and NF.Flux will darken but NF.Flux will darken sooner and will turn into sticky gel while VS-UHF-TF will stay liquid until completely burnt off.
I posted my review about it and he absolutely hated it, calling me a liar and a hater and said i delete comments 😂
Whats next, i rape goats ?...

Just ordered one.
Is there a tutorial how to deal with ASUS bios and extracting part for the EC ?

PCB by its self without anything connected does same thing. Most likely EC firmware at this point.
There are no timing caps in circuit that i could suspect to cause issues so.........
Will see....

U3201 was brand new. It got flashed as soon laptop powered.
I believe asus has a section in the bios dedicated for flashing this Embedded controller as soon as it boots when its blank.
So my next question is: how to reset the EC so it would reflash its self ?
Otherwise i have to buy blank chip or buy vetryanov programmer for hundreds of dollars to flash it manually.

I am reading 3.3v before and after R3019...

Behavior is the same in BIOS, LINUX or WINDOWS
